Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "The thief is given the head! You are still not allowed to surrender!"

...

...

Jiangling City.

Cao Zhen sat in the lobby of Jiangling Prefecture with a tired face, looking at the map of Jiangling City in front of him, motionless.

Deputy General Wang saw that Cao Zhen was tired and poured a bowl of slurry from the water jug ​​beside him, "General, take a break and drink some water."

Cao Zhen nodded, took the shui, but his eyes were still on the map, "What do you think the Sichuan and Shu army's offensive has slowed down these two days? Should we rest for a while, or did we have enough food and grass, or to cut down trees and make siege equipment? This is a bit unreasonable..."

"This... I can't say anything about it..." The deputy general replied in a low voice.

"One person is short-sense, two people are long-sense." Cao Zhen took a sip of water and then raised his eyes, "You talk, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong."

In the past two days, although the cavalry under the city still organized the offensive, Cao Zhen, who was defending in the city, clearly felt the difference.

The shouting loudly, but the movement is not loud.

Although there were also actions to attack the city, they were not determined. Sometimes, when Cao's counterattack was tough, they rushed to the middle and retreated directly.

This made Cao Zhen start to mutter in his heart...

Although the Cavalry Army's offensive was weak and the soldiers were slack, it was a good thing for the Cao army guarding the city, Cao Zhen felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. After thinking about it, Cao Zhen did not come up with a reason, so that the deputy generals would discuss it together.

Cao Zhen also knew that the deputy general's idea was definitely not exquisite, but now Cao Zhen is not only tired, but also his head is almost numb, so he hopes that someone can provide some ideas in other directions.

"Does my subordinates think..." The deputy general glanced at Cao Zhen's face, "Attacking Jiangling... is a void, attacking Xiangyang is a real..."

Cao Zhen nodded, "Continue."

"The population, artifacts, and properties here are all destroyed, if there is no support from our army..." said the deputy general, "This is not the case in Xiangyang... Now our army's military force distribution ends... If so...

Cao Zhen touched his chin, "You mean...we will withdraw our troops back to Xiangyang?"

Although Cao Zhen spoke very lightly, a solemn aura emanated from his eyes.

The deputy general shivered. Of course, his idea was to "send the tragedy to die, so I will come." But this idea can be understood, but it is not easy to say. Seeing that Cao Zhen's face seemed a little unhappy, he quickly added, "I am definitely not greedy for life and fear of death...but... the cavalry army is now weak in siege. Did he deliberately drag us... and then take a detour... to attack Xiangyang?"

"Attacking Xiangyang?" Cao Zhen suddenly became serious and his eyes fell on the map again.

The deputy general stepped forward and pointed with his hand on the map. "There is a Huarong Road here... It's very difficult to move on weekdays... But if...

The prevailing army's journey was through Dangyang, Changbanpo to Xiangyang, which was the route taken by Liu Bei's famous Changbanpo in history. Another route was the route of Cao Cao's escape in history. It passed through Huarong Road, Jingling, and then went north along the Han River to Xiangyang.

『Hanshui…』 Cao Zhen stared at the map, 『If the cavalrymen walked this way, there must be ships to pick them up...』

Although the Sichuan and Shu army had warships on the river, if they wanted to go to the Han River to Xiangyang, they would need to detour to Xiakou before they could go north along the Han River. This circle would naturally be a bit far away. Unless it was really Jiangling could not be eaten by any means, it would be possible to detour Xiakou. Moreover, there must be no hostile forces along the river. Otherwise, this transportation line would be long and fragile, and if you are not careful, someone would stab the chrysanthemums randomly.

So Cao Zhen didn't think about Xu Huang and others going around the Han River at all, but now that the deputy general mentioned it again, Cao Zhen thought of another possibility...

What if there are ships in Jingling?

These ships are not ships of the Sichuan and Shu army, but ships of others.

For example, Cai's ship.

When Cao Zhen thought of this, his heart suddenly tightened.

If Cai's family really...

Shipbuilding is not about building some ladder siege vehicles, but requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The key is that the wood for shipbuilding cannot be cut down freshly. It must be the same as the wood for building houses, and it will take some time to dry. Therefore, the number of warships is not about being anxious to have as many as you want.

If Xu Huang really divided his troops to Jingling on Huarong Road and took a boat, then Xiangyang might be in danger!

That's right, in Cao Zhen's mind, he really didn't think Yu Jin would lose. Because Cao Zhen believed that Yu Jin was backing the river and was in Yunmeng Ze, familiar with the terrain and flexible ships, even if the Sichuan and Shu army wanted to encircle Yu Jin, it would be extremely difficult in Cao Zhen's opinion, so Cao Zhen did not consider Yu Jin at all. Instead, this point proposed by the deputy general made Cao Zhen alert.

Cao Zhen looked up at the deputy general and said, "Send someone to Huarong Road immediately to check! If there are soldiers marching, repay immediately!"

...

Society and the state must have class attributes. The higher the rank they are in, the further away from ordinary people. The emergence of classes is directly related to private ownership and social division of labor. Since humans moved from tribes to state, the emergence of surplus value and the unevenness of means of production and living means are destined to become inevitable, and classes are born.

The same is true for Fei Qian now.

When he first traveled to the great man, he could go to the market today and go out for a trip tomorrow. If he wanted to chat with ordinary people, he would sit down and chat. Whether it was Fei Qian or the other party, he would not think there was any problem. But now it is different.

The state is the product of irreconcilable class contradictions.

War is the product of irreconcilable political contradictions.

The essence of the country is the ruling class that suppresses the oppressed class, and the essence of war is a means for political groups to suppress another political group. The state has been class-oriented since its birth, and its laws, policies, and ideologies all reflect the will of the ruling class. The same is true for war. As long as it is launched, it will inevitably lead to blood.

The path chosen by China is the path of integration of great unity.

Those who are willing to merge will be like Yanhuang.

Those who don’t want to merge are like Chiyou.

The emergence of classes and states is the product of the development of productivity to a certain stage, not something inherently born with it.

Just like when Fei Qian first traveled through time, he had more humanity, would be stupid, and would have problems of one kind or another. But now he is less and less like a human being, because the ordinary people, soldiers, military academies, counselors and generals who followed Fei Qian all needed Fei Qian to become a "god", or a "leader", or some other symbol.

The question that Fei Qian himself considered has evolved from what to eat every day to where the country should go.

From worrying about boiling meat slices without chili, it has become worrying about how the state system regulates class contradictions through taxes and welfare.

From eating a beef banquet that was "unfortunate" and falling to death, even now even seeing the tragic situation of various classes' oppression and exploitation, it is more rational to think about the causes and development of the process...

The sensibility gradually fades away, and the eternal blessing of reason.

Although Fei Qian is deep in the middle of thousands of troops, he still feels lonely in his heart.

Once you step on this road, you can't turn back.

A wisp of smoke rose from afar, and five or six scouts galloped over, with mud and sweat on their faces.
